Newbie help? Planning my reef !

If the OP can find pre-cured live rock for a good price, I would agree that its the quickest method to get a tank up and running.

I personally don't like the idea of used live rock due to not knowing the history of the rock. It's hard enough to start in this hobby without having to inherit other peoples mistakes.

I had a customer purchase used LR on kijiji and turns out the previous owner must have used the LR in quarantine and used copper.

Agreed. It's good to have reliable sources and know a few people. Hitechi, we do a social meet every several weeks here in the GVRD. You should come out to the next one and make a few contacts.

Oooh! That's awesome - I hope I can make the next meet.
I'm think I'm leaning towards the 60 cube (24x24x24). I don't think I'm allowed to go up to the 36 inch/75 gallon tank. =;c(

I had no idea there was a buy/sell on these forums... this might spell trouble for my wallet!

You've only made 2 posts, so you might not be able to see them yet. Just make a few 'looks nice' comments and you should be in, lol.
